| Thiels or Von Schweikerts Thanks to all of you; obviously I have to go and find speakers to audition! I love the way this split almost down the middle, with Thiel coming on strong down the stretch.Later,the rustler | |
| Gallo REfF3's-All their cracked up to be? Tantra, that's wonderful advice. I was thinking of using a powered subwoofer to supplement the Gallos. Would that be overkill in your opinion? I have a Von Schweikert powered sub, which is incredibly quick and musical.Many thanks for the input.rr | |
| Gallo REfF3's-All their cracked up to be? How much power do they need? I'm thinking of getting either a Manley Stingray or a Krell 400xi integrated amp. Would the Manley tube piece be enough? The lit says they can handle up to 350! rustler | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE ADS L810s get my vote. When I first heard them in about 1974, they blew my mind with their incredible clarity and definition. I finally bought a pair in 1979, and I absolutely loved them until my son blew them up listening to Magical Mystery Tour ... | |
| Best Live Shows 2006 ? To say Michael Bolton serves a purpose is basically like saying that there's some obscure cosmic justification for Burt Reynolds!Who knows? | |
| Best Live Shows 2006 ? Dave,I really love Billy Bragg, but I must say the audience wasn't up to the levels of radical/progressive hipness I had hoped for. I talked with Billy at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Woody Guthrie conference when he premiered his Woody Guthrie ... | |
| Best Live Shows 2006 ? I'm just back from Bonnaroo, and I nominate Radiohead, with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers as a close second. They really surprised me, as I had never really given them much attention, but Petty's show was scorching, especially the brief set of s... | |
| 2 subwoofer??? How does one go about hooking up two subwoofers?Any companies known for the quality of their amplifiers? Two subs can't go lower than each's ratings, though, can they? I know the 10" Hsu goes to 25 Hz and the 12" goes to 20. Does the qualitative d... | |
| 2 subwoofer??? In light of all this excellent discussion, I now ask, would going with two smaller subwoofers give me more stable/solid bass so that the two smaller ones would equal or surpass the sound quality/volume/etc. of one larger one.Example, would two Hsu... | |
| 2 subwoofer??? Audiogon is fabulous! Thanks for all the input, and it seems as though we have some real discussion going on. It looks as though the subs have to be identical, eh?the rustler | |
| Problem with subwoofer and Arcam ARV 300 You folks are great; keep the advice coming. I really appreciate your care and expertise.the rustler | |
| Problem with subwoofer and Arcam ARV 300 Thanks so far. I don't have this hooked up to a tv yet; it's running my stereo system for the time being, so I can't use the menu options to help with this.Also, how might I run through the speaker-level inputs, since the AVR 300 only has the sing... | |
| Turntable cables . . . possible upgrade? Many thanks Serus for your sage advice.the rustler | |
| Phono preamps Hi All,I just called and spoke with a technician at Rolls/Bellari. He said that their phono preamp "cannot work with moving coil cartridges." (!) What am I to make of this, given that some report using them with good results?rustler | |
| Phono preamps Bellari fell through; I was too late; still open to advice/suggestions/offers/etc.the rustler |
